Professor of Geosciences, Boise State University, Boise, Idaho
Department of Geosciences, Boise State University, currently a professor.
Primary interest is in the field of igneous petrology and volcanology. My
master’s thesis research was in Antarctica where I was part of the last
multi-disciplinary reconnaissance expedition to explore a previously
unvisited part of the continent. My Ph.D. dissertation research focused on
the volcanic rocks in the western Cascade Range in Central Oregon. Recent
work has included petrologic studies related to the explosive basaltic
volcanism that resulted from the mixing of magma and water in the Phio-Pleistocene
Lake Idaho.
